This past weekend I decided to stop at my local Michael’s and found a great deal on metal stencil looking tags. I remember looking at them months ago in the dollar section but held off buying them as I just wasn’t sure what I’d use them for.

I couldn’t pass them up this time as they were only 25 cents each. I think I spent a good 15 minutes rummaging through the bins to see what number and letters I could find.

I initially thought of numbering storage bins but couldn’t find all the numbers I wanted so I settled on some number and letters for a project for next year with these…..

And these numbers for a project for this year….

I’m thinking just to framed the tags in a frame on top of some sheet music or holiday paper. What would you do with these great finds?

If you are lucky enough to live near a Michael’s it might be worth a trip there to see if you can pick up a few of these tags for yourself. I’d love to hear and see what you do with these tags if you find them at your local store.

I love the champagne glitter paper from Stampin Up and had to make a few holiday cards with it. I made sure to use almost every scrap of it using both the positive and negative images of snowflakes I cut out.

It was hard to get a good picture of paper. It is almost a bronze color.

The smaller snowflakes on this card were cut out of the paper that the snowflake paper is mounted on.

The card has a secret, the paper moved when I was cutting it out so I ‘hid’ the incomplete portion of the snowflake behind another snowflake and the ribbon.

This card has lots of shine with a shimmery white paper behind the negative image from the snowflake die.

I thought the glittered snowflake and ribbon was all that was needed for a couple striking cards.

I loved the glitter paper with the Night of Navy cardstock.

These are just a few of the cards I was able to make with the glitter paper. I have about a dozen more cards made and will have to share a few more of them in a few days.
